Femtosecond Laser Flap Creation for Laser in situ Keratomileusis: Six-month Follow-up of Initial U.S. Clinical Series

Abstract

Femtosecond laser corneal flap creation is a safe and effective alternative to traditional mechanical microkeratomes. Standard LASIK nomograms appeared to apply equally well to the all-laser LASIK procedures. The potential for improved flap safety, reproducibility, flexibility, as well as for additional corneal applications are now being explored.
